Everyone is OK, but my workhorse is gone!

Today I lost my favorite
car I've ever owned, It has been a work horse since I got it! My 1994 Jeep
Cherokee had 217,000 miles on it, been to many homes with many buyers.
Been on
many road trips, brought home many pets and never gave me an ounce of
trouble
in those 217,000.

Total repair bills for those years
other than oil changes and
tire was only $800, this car rocked and I would love its equal. But today, it
was all gone in an instant when a older gentleman crossed the center
line and
left my wife the choice of hitting him or taking the car and rolling it
in a 15
foot ditch.

We had a witness and everyone is
alright, but I will miss my Jeep.
Anyone got any ideas of what another great car could be for me and my
real
estate car. I do like simplicity.

What if there was a way you could search the MLS for FREE just like Realtors

Now you can access the MLS using similar tools as Realtors. You are in control of what you want to search for, and you can search the MLS at your leisure. The information you submit in the form below can also be used to put you on an automated system where you'll be emailed all homes that meet your search criteria. You'll get internet access to a website that includes pictures, prices, and addresses to real estate that's listed in the MLS!

I hope your wife is alright! Someone once rear-ended the vehicle that my husband was driving while I was the passenger. I suffered soft tissue damage and it took about three years til I could do much. I hope she is okay.

Hi Todd, I hope you can find a suitable vehicle soon, and your family gets back to normal. I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee 4x4, bought it new in 94, and its been great. Your right, they are real work horses. It has 203,000 miles on it now. Jeep's are great for showing farm & ranch properties, and my back seat lays down to make room for the signs, etc.

Todd, I'm so happy everyone is okay. I also love my car. It's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned but some think it's cheap. You might want to read the blog I wrote "Does the Make of the Car I Drive Matter?'

Hi Todd...Great News you are both okay. Cars can be replaced. I had 92 Chevy Blazer vortex for ten year, low maintenance..the V6 was a trouble free motor. See if you can find one they build that car for many years.

I now have 2001 Mercedes M430, Safe car, and reliable, maintenance is expensive if you go to the dealer.

Hi Todd!If you loved your Cherokee, why wouldn't you get another Jeep? It is the perfect car for Beaverton driving and is a full utility vehicle. Mind you, I don't have one...it just sounds like you should stick with what was a success!

Hi Todd, I am so glad everyone is ok. I hope that the insurance company does the right thing by taking care of this without penalizing you. I agree with Paula, why not another Jeep. I hear that Toyota 4 Runners are nice too.

Todd - An accident can happen so quickly leaving only a split second to react. Glad to hear everyone is safe and nobody was injured. It is tough to replace a vehicle that has been such a gem. Good luck.
